Conception

This project was conceived after 3B covered all the curricular areas in all the subjects for term 2 before time, leaving the ground open to address the educational needs of the class in a more challenging and creative way.

The final fortnight where the school closes early after a half day due to exams is somewhat piecemeal and therefore an ideal opportunity to deliver the curriculum through a cross-curricular project that will help the class apply knowledge and skills learnt over the course of the year.

Objectives The key aims of the project are as follows:

1. Take a creative and interactive approach to the curriculum. 2. Address whole class learning issues. These are outlined overleaf. 3. Allow pupils a chance to learn in a more organic and integrated cross curricular way. 4. Engage pupils in understanding and appreciating other cultures. 5. Give pupils the opportunity to apply knowledge and skills they have been taught. 6. Involve pupils in a more child-centred and independent approach to learning in which they construct meaning through experience, intercation and producing something collaboratively.

3Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Whole Class Needs Through recording, monitoring and assessing, I have noted that 3B have certain areas of learning that they still struggle with as a whole class. By undertaking this project, I hope to give the pupils the opportunity to revise and rehearse these areas. 3Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whole class areas of improvement include:

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Consolidate sentence boundaries. Use the correct tense when relating to past experiences. Be more accurate in their use of prepositions. Develop better teamwork skills. Improve their speaking, listening and performance skills. Read, understand and follow written instructions.

Cross Curricular Learning â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Deepest, Darkest Africaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is a cross-curricular endeavor that will make the following cross-curricular links:

- Language arts: writing newspaper reports and rehearsing past tense verbs, writing questions for an interview, speaking listening skills- conducting interviews, working with recipes, learning an African language and compiling a dictionary of basic terms, using cloze procedure exercise to practice using the correct proposition, reading, researching and paraphrasing learnt information, learning, retelling and performing myths

- Maths : calculating distances and travel time, using measures in recipes, working with money

- Social studies: food hygiene in cooking, use of musical instruments to communicate, understanding of other cultures, listening and learning from living history, understanding the politics of apartheid

- Geography: locating country on map, learning basic topography, weather, fauna, flora, trade and politics of the place - Art: looking at traditional African art, making African masks

- Music: playing African drums, listening to traditional African music and its influences on popular western music

- Topic : looking at endangered animals

- Drama : acting out learnt narrative - ICT: using internet as reading and research tool

Activities The project will encompass the following activities over the 2 week period: - Social class experiment to learn about the trauma of racial segregation, and apartheid and slavery - Meeting and interviewing people from the African continent - Internet research - Atlas work to learn about location and geography of Africa - Learning Africaans and making a simple dictionary of phrases and words - Writing a non-chronological report about apartheid - Playing with African instruments and listening to modern and traditional music - Completing worksheets on endangered African animals - Reading and writing up an African recipe - Making a traditional African dish - Holding a bring and buy sale - Making African masks and learning about African art - Watching Africa related documentaries and films - Learning, retelling and reenacting a traditional oral African tale - Producing a bound project book to take home

Educational Theories This project, although not purely based on Piagetian and Montessorian concepts about progressive and accelerated learning, does borrow from some of their prospective key concepts. Namely that

…children build their knowledge through experience. Knowledge is constructed through active interaction with real objects and real people in the real world through meaningful experiences… (Piaget, Jean – “Intellectual development”) ….Cooperation and collaboration Children are encouraged to work in partenership with others and treat each other with respect and kindness… (McCormick, Nancy and Stoops, John, 1992 – “The Authentic American Montessori School”) …Global Understanding Education that promotes international heritage, a global perspective and appreciation of cultural and national diversity… (ibis)

Deepest, Darkest Africa 3bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cross-curricular project newsletter special Having completed their curriculum subject objectives for term 2, Mr Kaleemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grade 3 boys focused their learning in the last 2 weeks on a creative, cross-curricular education project on Africa to help them apply the knowledge and skills they learnt in term 1 and 2.

Below are some of the cross-curricular areas and activities they undertook over the fortnight. Social Studies Pupils learnt about apartheid in South Africa. They went through a social experiment to help them understand how racial inequality in South Africa made people feel during the time of apartheid.

Language Arts They consolidated their learning by unscrambling a series of sentences about apartheid in a carousel group activity.

Mrs Fiona, from South Africa, dropped by to teach them further about life during apartheid.

3B prepared interview questions about apartheid and growing up in South Africa. They put these questions to Namibian guest Mrs Nusha and South African guests Mrs Hayley, Mrs Anthea and Mrs Aileen who came to spend an afternoon with the class. Pupils used frameworks to write a report about apartheid.

Our 4 special guests then went to teach the children numbers and phrases in an African language called Afrikaans. The children used this information to make a special Afrikaans phrase book.

Over the 2 weeks pupils wrote reports, practiced sentence structure, drew annotated comic strips, revised features of recipes, consolidated full stops and capital letters, retold narratives, practiced using prepositions more accurately and used past tense verbs correctly. Music Children learnt about traditional African musical instruments and listened to traditional, modern and fusion African music.

Mr Babakir visited the class and performed some live music using bongos. Mr Moomin assisted with a little dancing!

Miss Stephanie showed the class how to play a South African instrument called a vuvuzela. The children made some music of their own using African instruments.

Maths, Science and HRF 3B did some African cooking in class. They made a South African hot rice salad. They practiced their knowledge of measures from Math to add the correct quantities; and used their Science lessons to discuss healthy eating and HRF to be conscious of food hygiene.

Art 3b learnt about African art, did some African paintings and made African masks.

Drama Pupils watched a video of the Lion King musical on stage.

They acted out and filmed a traditional African oral tale called ‘Why the turtle lives in the sea’.

Geography The class found Africa on a world map, labeled the different African countries and learnt about Africa’s main rivers, mountains, lakes, flora and wildlife. They learnt about conservation of endangered animals in Africa.

Design Technology 3B made some African maracas using recycled tins and rice.

History 3b learnt that Africa is the ‘cradle of civilisation’ spawning the earliest found humans, of its bloody history of slavery and the later trauma of apartheid.

ICT Mr Osama kindly helped to upload the project photos and videos onto the school website. Please log on and have a browse.

Other Mr Kaleemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s class ran an African snack shop. Both Nada pupils and teachers came to buy the snacks. The money went towards buying books about Africa for the school library.

In doing this, they used their mathematical knowledge to balance the cost of the snacks to make enough of a profit margin in order to purchase the desired book.

Pupils watched films about Africa such as a documentary on Kenya, an elephant who can paint pictures of elephants and a lion versus buffalo battle (in which the buffaloes won!).

3b had an African display in the classroom showcasing authentic African artifacts like plates, drums and animal skin headbands brought in by parents and staff.

Our thanks to Mr Tony and the management for their support of the project and many thanks to all the variety of staff and parents who came to help and watch 3B enjoying these 2 weeks of their African project. A special thanks to Nusha Vincent for giving her time and many African artifacts and personal photographs for our African display and African photo gallery.

Hot Rice Salad recipe There are many variations to the way rice is prepared and served in South Africa. This variation can be served with almost any meat dish.

Ingredients 400g rice (2 c) 875 ml boiling water (3Â˝ c) 2 chicken stock cubes 3 onions 1 clove garlic 1 medium green pepper 30 ml sunflower oil (2 T) 250 g mushrooms 250 g bacon 1 large tomato 5 ml salt (1 t) pinch of black pepper

Instructions on how to make it Cook the rice in the boiling water to which the chicken stock cubes have been added, until it is soft but not mushy. Peel the onions and garlic and chop and cut into strips. Braise these vegetables in the sunflower oil until soft. Wipe the mushrooms with a damp cloth. Cut up the mushrooms and bacon. Peel the tomato and chop roughly. Add the mushrooms, bacon and tomato to the onion mixture and braise till just done. Season with the salt and black pepper. Mix the vegetable mixture and the rice lightly together with a large fork. Serve the rice salad hot. Makes about 16 servings.

About African Cooking It is generally the women of Sub-Saharan Africa who do most of the work related to food. This includes work on the "plantations" or "shambas" (as cultivated fields are called), such as planting, weeding, harvesting, as well cooking as cooking and serving the food. The African kitchen is traditionally outside or in a separate building apart from the sleeping and living quarters. By far the most traditional and to this day the most common sight in an African kitchen is a large swing blackpots filled with meat, vegetables, and spices simmering over a fire. The pot usually sits on three stones arranged in a triangle, and the fire slowly consumes three pieces of wood that meet at a point under the pot. Traditional African Food

Yams, plantains, green bananas and cassava are the essential staples in Africa. These vegetables are grown and used all over the continent, either on their own or combined with others. Meat, on the other hand, is often used merely as one of a number of flavorings, rather than as a main ingredient in cooking. Vegetables, beans and lentils are definitely the most popular food staples throughout the continent, although animal products are used whenever available.

Most food staples are produced on small scale, in a household based subsistence economy in Africa. The typical household grows its main staples, such as millet, sorghum and groundnuts in savannah areas, with more emphasis on rice were there is sufficient water available.

Mr Kaleemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s class are also looking for any African artefacts (eg. Fabrics, ornaments, music instruments, toys, jewellery, pictures, etc) for their African disp[ay as well as any personal photographs taken in Africa for their African gallery.

GEOGRAPHY

Africa To the north lies Sahara, the largest desert in the world. Equatorial area is covered by tropical rain forests. Farther south there are areas of grassy flat highlands giving way to coastal plains. Major mountain ranges include Atlas in the north and Ruwenzri on the UgandaZaire border. Kilimanjaro, Africaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest mountain, is a dormant volcano in Tanzania. To the east is the Great Rift Valley containing several huge lakes. Some of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longest rivers drain the continent, including the Nile, Niger, Zaire, and Zambezi.

ENVIRONMENTS Africa's natural habitats are suffering from human interference. One of the most serious problems occurs in areas such as the Sahel where scrub and forest clearance, often for cooking, combined with overgrazing, is causing deforestation and desertification. Game reserves help to preserve many endangered animals, although the needs of growing populations lead to land overuse and poaching. Conservationists look at Africaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wildlife as a last remnant of past biological wealth. In most of the world, large mammals like elephants died around 10,000 years ago. In Africa, where animals and people lived together for more then 2 million years, large mammals roaming forests and savannas survived. Sparse human population enabled large animals and many rain forest species including rare plants to survive. During the last hundred years, the people in subSaharan Africa increased in numbers six fold. Industrial countries have made it profitable for Africans to kill elephants for ivory, cut down trees for timber, and plant forests and fertile lands in cash crops like cacao. Wildlife and wildlands have been lost. The continentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s human population is projected to double in 24 years. Two thirds of people are rural, and survive on raising crops and livestock on any available land. Competition for land is intense around Lake Victoria and along the coast of West Africa. Hungry people seldom rally around the cause of the wildlife preservation. Therefore, many programs promote conservation by giving rural people an economic stake in the survival of ecosystems and habitat.

African Instruments

Balafon (Mendjang) Balafons (Mendjang), are the traditional xylophones of the Beti people of Cameroon, West Africa. They are made of wooden keys with natural gourds as resonators. A balafon ensemble usually consists of 4 to 6 balafons, each having different individual temperaments and functional names. Click on the picture to read more

We have a complete page about this instrument. Click Here to read it.

Log Drum (Nkul, “King Kong”) A childrens’ favourite! This African drum, which is hollowed out of a whole tree trunk, is used for both music and communication. Played with two sticks, its powerful sounds can carry over 10 miles (16 km). Children queue up to have a go on the King Kong!

Talking Drum (Kalengo) Made of wood, with animal skins at both ends, there are strings that, when squeezed, pull the skins in order to vary the pitch of the sound.

Djembe Famous worldwide, originally from West Africa, it’s the main percussion instrument we use in our drumming workshops. It’s made of wood, with a goat skin cover, which is tightened by strings and played with bare hands. Its rhythms, which are both therapeutic and invigorating, naturally incite everyone to dance.

Mvet (string instrument) Ancient harp from the South of Cameroon, it’s made of a bamboo cane, strings and calabashes, which serve as resonators. Its exotic sounds are compelling. Used to accompany the recital and songs of the traditional African storyteller, it’s an authentic feature of our interactive storytelling sessions.

Sanzas (thumb pianos, Mbire) Handheld instruments, usually played with both thumbs. It consists of a resonator, generally made out of a gourd, and bamboo or metal keys. It makes enchanting and soft music, adored by children.

Ngombi (Harp) Instrument made of wood and strings, it has soft sounds and is used for storytelling. Its quite common throughout Africa, designed in various shapes and sizes.

Double Gong (Nkeng) Made out of two metal gongs with two individual sounds, one low and one high. It’s played with a wooden stick.

Shakers (Nyass) There are many different types, they mostly consist of natural fruits, pods and gourds with their seeds inside. Easy and fun to play, they’re good for keeping the basic beat.

Sticks (Bikparga) Made out of bamboo or wood, they’re short and either flat or round. They’re used in pairs to enhance the beat in music and also for dancing.

African Music We listened to different music from across Africa. Here are some of the artists we listened to.

Aster Aweke: an Enthiopian singer. She is some times described as Africaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aretha Franklin. She sings happy, soulful, playful songs.

Johnny Clegg : Born in England to an English father and Zimbabwean mother, Clegg is one of South Africaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest singers. He grew up in South Africa where he combined Western music with Zulu rhythms.

Miriam Makeba : Growing up near Johannesburg, Makebe is nicknamed Mama Africa. She moved to America and became famous for her African melodies. Makeba spoke up against apartheid throughout her life.

Ladysmith Black Mambazo : a male accapella group from South Africa. They sing using only voices and no instruments. We listened a song called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The moon is walkingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; which Michael Jackson used in his film Moonwalker.

Shakira â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Waka Waka Shakira sang this song with South African group Freshsound. It was used as the official song for FIFA World Cup 2010.

We will also be playing with some African musical instruments.

Mr Babukar, from Sudan, will come and do some Sudanese throat singing in the class live.

Why Turtles Live In Water

A Tale from West Africa

Turtles used to live on the land, they say, until the time a clever turtle was caught by some hunters. They brought him to their village and placed the turtle before the Chief, who said, "How shall we cook him?" "You'll have to kill me first," said the turtle, "and take me out of this shell." "We'll break your shell with sticks," they said. "That'll never work," said the turtle, "Why don't you throw me in the water and drown me?!" "Excellent idea," said the Chief. They took the turtle to the river and threw him into the water to drown him. They were congratulating themselves on their success in drowning the turtle, when two little green eyes poked up in the water and the laughing turtle said, "Don't get those cooking pots out too fast, foolish people! As he swam away he said, "I think I'll spend most of my time from now on, safely in the water." It has been that way ever since!

Picture of the Week: 2010 World Cup in South Africa June 15, 2010 | Posted by The Current Events

This South African boy is playing with a soccer ball. His country is more excited than ever about soccer! On June 11th, the World Cup Soccer Tournament began in South Africa. More than 300,000 people are expected to visit South Africa this month to watch the games. Millions of others from around the world will also watch the games from their home countries.

This is the first time that a World Cup will take place in Africa. South Africans are very proud to be hosting it. They are eager to show off their country’s culture. South Africa hopes that the World Cup will prompt people from all over the world to visit its beautiful scenic places. They want many tourists to come to South Africa to watch its wildlife in their natural habitat.

Until 1990, white people were in charge in South Africa. They enforced apartheid, which was an unfair way to treat the Africans living there. Most countries stopped doing business with South Africa and the country became very poor. In 1994, elections were held and black citizens were allowed to vote freely. The new government, let by Nelson Mandela, worked to make sure that everyone was treated fairly. Now South Africans want to show the world how far they have come.

“[The World Cup] is the single greatest opportunity we have ever had to showcase our … potential to the world,” said South African president Jacob Zuma. “We must rise and tell the story of a continent which is alive with possibilities.”

Apartheid in South Africa Apartheid was a government system in South Africa that divided black and white people. It started in 1948 and was gotten rid of in 1994. The word apartheid in the African language Afrikaans means â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;apartnessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. White European people who ruled South Africa in the past felt they were superior and should have more rights than black people. Apartheid divided South Africans into 4 racial groups: 1. 2. 3. 4.

Black White mixed race Pakistani/Indian .

Blacks and whites were separated and forced to be in different parts of town and cities. They had to live and work separately. They were not allowed to socialise and be friends. Black and white people had to have separate schools, hospitals and other facilities. Black people were not allowed to be part of the south African government or help rule Africa.

Black south Africans felt they were being treated unfairly and cruelly. Many people fought for their rights. They protested but were arrested by the government and sometimes put in prison for many years. Other countries around the world criticised South Africa for treating its black people so badly. Black leader Nelson Mandela was one of the most famous protestors. For years he struggled to finish apartheid. He was imprisoned by the government for 27 years. In 1990, Mandela was finally released from prison after the world protested against apartheid. In 1994, apartheid was finally ended in South Africa and people were allowed to vote in elections. All Africans, black, white and Asian now had the same rights to live, work and be friends. Nelson Mandela became South Africaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first black president.

Apartheid Scramble Sentences

Apartheid happened in South Africa between 1948 and 1994. Apartheid was a system that separated black and white Africans. White Africans had more rights and black

Africans were treated badly. South Africans were divided into 4 groups: black, white, mixed and Asian. Nelson Mandela helped to finish apartheid and

became the first black president.
